I traded in a 34' travel trailer this Spring and bought a 5th wheel for the first time. My travel trailer was towed with a Chevy 2500HD gasser with a Propride hitch. It did fine. The Propride hitch did its job. No sway but it could be a real pain to get it hitched and unhitched when not on perfectly level ground. I now tow a 34' 5th wheel with a Ram 3500. Over the past few years I read where a lot of people would say the Propride and Hensley products made the towing experience similar to that of a 5th wheel. Well It's not even close. It's much better than with older hitches but it's not anything like towing a 5th wheel. I used to call BS when people would brag about towing with their truck and 5th wheel and say "I don't even know it's behind me". Now I eat crow because they weren't bragging. They were just telling it like it is. If I were you and I know it's me spending your money, I'd upgrade to a 5th wheel. At the very least, get a Propride or Hensley hitch and get rid of that sway. Your family is much more important than any amount of money!
